Seizures

One

Absolutely not - Seizures of any type, whether controllable or not, is an automatic medical disqualifier for any type of military service. You cannot be expected to be placed into a critical situation if you have a known condition in which you could have a seizure during that situation.

For example, let's say you were at the helm of a Nuclear Powered Fast-Attack submarine, conducting sea trials at extreme depths, heading for Test Depth, when you suddenly had a seizure. Such an occurrence could mean the loss of ship with all hands.

Another example if you were a Marine is in a firefight situation. You could be the person manning a key weapon at a critical moment when you have a seizure, and the loss of that weapon could mean the loss of the entire squad or worse.

Medical disqualifiers are the most common in the military, and there are many things that prevent people from being able to join the military.

Archie Kennedy (a Midshipman on the Indefatigable) had seizures in Hornblower.

It is not good to have any kind of seizure. The only thing that can be said is that having a petit mal seizure is better than having a grand mal seizure.

While on heroine, you can experience seizures.

Heroin is a GABA antagonist. GABA is the main inhibitory neurotransmitter in the Central nervous system (brain, spinal cord). This means that GABA keeps chemicals in your brain in check and keeps neurons from firing too much. Kinda like neurotransmitter police in your brain. When neurons are too active this creates a seizure. Heroin reduces the amount of GABA in your brain. Therefore, lowering your seizure threshold, making it more likely to have seizures.

Yes.

In everyone's brain there is constant electrical activity happening. A seizure is caused when there is an abnormal pattern or disruption in this activity. You could almost say it is like an electrical storm in the brain. There are many reasons for this.

Sadly.... Yes

All warm blooded animals can have seizures. If your pet has had them, be sure to take your pet into be examined by your Veterinarian. Seizures can be a sign of brain tumors, poisoning, epilepsy, etc.

Grand Mal Seizures

There is something known as infantile spasms. This is a rare disorder within infants under 6 months of age, and can occur multiple times a day.

There is also something known as Absence seizures. They are lapes of awareness that last for only a few seconds. This is common in children and are brief in length.

clonic, marked by jerky head movements.

If you are talking about the kindle reader, for reading books, then there is no reason why it should. It is not like a flashing light, which can cause seizures for some people. The form of epilepsy that has seizures caused by flashing lights is known as photosensitive epilepsy. That only affects some people. Most people with epilepsy are not affected by flashing lights. One of the many misconceptions about seizures and epilepsy is that they are caused by flashing lights. That is only true for those who are photosensitive. Only about 3% to 5% of people with epilepsy are photosensitive. For other people with epilepsy it is not a problem at all. So the kindle reader is not a problem.

Medications, such as Trileptal, which are designed to treat seizures, are also successfully used to treat depression and bipolar disorder.

There are many different types of seizures which can be mimicked by some of the following:

1)migraines

2)narcolepsy

3)syncope

4)hypoglycemia

5)pseudoseizures

just move anything they may get hurt on. do not try to move them they may hurt you.

The type of seizure that arises in the temporal lobe is usually the complex partial. It may be accompanied by an aura. The aura may last anywhere from a few seconds up to a minute or two before consciousness is impaired. Sometimes, a person experiencing a complex partial seizure can continue to interact with the invironment to some extent for the duration of the seizure, but tipically this ability is impaired. Afterward, the person may have no memory of the events that took place. The duration of the seizure is usually 2 to 3 minutes, but it may be as short as 30 seconds or as long as 5v to 10 minutes - sometimes even longer.

Penicilin is not a commonly known trigger for seizures in dogs, but I wouldn't be surprised if it could cause them. Some foods and toxins can cause dog seizures, as well as excessive external stimulus (ie, light & sound), so it could, in theory, be a trigger.

no

You need to consult your doctor in this. Keppra can be taken if you must but they don't know the effect on the fetus.

Last night I had a seizure. I had drank a bit too much alcohol (although not rediculous amounts) I'm speaking of around 4 pints of lager and a vodka. I do not have epilepsy. I had stopped drinking at around 1:00 am and went to bed feeling intoxicated but not ill, dizzy or incapable. I woke up in the middle of the night needing a drink of water. Went to get one and after tasting the water my seizure began. I bit through my lip completely during it and woke up with vague memories even though I was conscious (but in an altered state of mind) during the seizure. This seizure probably was not caused by alcohol alone, but also malnutrition and stress. I had not eaten anything all day and I am under a lot of pressure at work and home.

yes,guillian-barre syndrome cause people to have seizures.
